WHAT IS ROTARY COMPRESSION?

Pedrick Pipe, Tube, and Solid Bar Stock Benders operate on the rotary compression bending principle. It consists of a stationary die and an arm that rotates around the die and wipes the material to be bent into the die.

Bends can be produced in pipe and tubing that can be used to reduce cutoffs, end preparation, fittings and welds, which saves money. The compression bending process is well suited for bending heavy sections.

Solid round bar stock (1/4 - 3 in. OD) can be bent for many industrial applications. A variety of structural, roll-formed, and extruded sections can be bent using the rotary compression bending process.
